Apple TV announced today that its Peabody and Emmy Award-winning mindfulness series Stillwater will return next month for a new season. Here are the details.
Almost exactly one year ago, Apple TV premiered Stillwater’s fourth season after a two-year hiatus following its previous 10-episode run.
Today, the platform announced that five new episodes will premiere on August 21, featuring more “breathing exercises, mindful moments and simple everyday practices” designed to help kids and families find their inner calm.
“Stillwater” follows a wise panda who teaches three young siblings about the world and each other. The series centers on siblings Karl (Judah Mackey), Addy (Eva Ariel Binder) and Michael (Tucker Chandler), who encounter everyday challenges — big and small — which sometimes feel insurmountable. Fortunately for these three, they have Stillwater (James Sie), a wise panda, as their next-door neighbor. Through his example, stories and gentle humor, Stillwater teaches the children the concept of mindfulness, while offering them a deeper understanding of their feelings as well as tools that help them face their own day-to-day challenges.
Since premiering in 2020, Stillwater has won a Peabody Award for Child and Youth Programming, a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Editing for a Preschool Animated Program, and a Children’s & Family Emmy for Outstanding Directing for a Preschool Animated Program. The show is based on Jon J Muth’s bestselling Scholastic “Zen” book series.
Apple TV is available for $12.99 per month or as part of the Apple One bundle. It features hit TV shows and movies like Severance, The Studio, The Morning Show, Shrinking and Silo.
